Our cats don’t give two hoots about people food except for two things: beef jerky and my five-alarm chili.

Nightravyn and Laurie C, I too had a cat who went nuts for baked goods! We used to call her “Bakery Kitty”…Amanda liked anything flour-based: Cookies, crackers, cakes, muffins, you name it! She also loved tuna, which is pretty standard for cats, I’d imagine. If you wanted to find Amanda, just rattle the can opener! And chicken, wow, did she love chicken; my husband made the mistake of offering her a bit of chicken off his plate one night and we never had a meal in peace after that. And of course he’d have to share his ice cream with her too, just to get a moment’s quiet. Cherry Garcia was her favorite flavor!

army kitten, my late cat Lovey adored beer. she lived with my parents near the end of her life as i could not have her with me in college (sad!), and they’d inform me whenever we talked about the new and exciting things my cat had a fondness for. beer was at the top of the list, as was oatmeal, blueberries, pesto sauce…and just about anything else. i have a fond memory of her throwing a grape around the kitchen in frustration and confusion. i don’t think she could figure out what it was, and if it was dead or not.

crittermom, i was waiting for someone else to say that their cat loved lettuce!

my kitty wolf rabbit (of whom i have only visitiation rights) would come running into the kitchen if she heard the vegetable drawer in the fridge opening. she loves butter lettuce, kale, asparagus, and once ate some lucky bamboo–maybe because it looked like asparagus? she also has gone crazy for barbeque sauce, goat cheese, and beer. yes, beer. you can’t leave a bottle of a nice amber ale unattended around her, or she’ll leek the top of it furiously. leek leek. nyum nyum.

Awwwww sooooo cute! Makes me feel all fuzzy.

One of our cats loves to share Tootsie Pops with my husband. She also eats lettuce. Knows the sound of a salad bag opening and comes running to get some. Go figure!

My sweet (hah!) little Angora, Geisha, will eat anything. Seriously. Her favorites are banana Laffy Taffy and strawberries, both of which she will try to paw out of your mouth if you don’t share. Unless it has onions or mustard, she seems to think that if I eat it, it must be good.

Nightrayvn, my troublesome tabby will nibble the tops of muffins I’ve just baked and left to cool. And last time, I set out 18 muffins to cool, took a phone call, came back and only 17 muffins were left. I never saw any remains of #18, not even the paper muffin cup.

First time posting to this site (though I’ve been a long-time fan).

ink, when I was little, I had a cat who L-O-V-E-D Italian oil-cured olives too! Only my dad had to cut the pit out for her. She wasn’t big on working too hard for her treat

My kitteh Sylvie has decided that the cans of crunchy chow mein noodles are hers. I used to eat them as a snack. Not any more. The second I open them, she magically appears out of nowhere to shove her head into the can. Not even chicken can distract her. She would also attack me when I would buy these amazing buttercreme pound cake cupcakes from a bakery down the street. She could care less about the icing. It was the cake she wanted.

Two nights ago, I was eating a fresh-baked chocolate chip cookie when a crump fell from the cookie and onto her head while she was in my lap. She sniffed, ears went forward, eyes got big, inhaled the crumb, then stood up on me and started chewing on the cookie sticking out of my mouth, while I sat there in shock.

:;shaking head:: Only cat I’ve ever had that goes nuts for baked goods.

You know that baby’s kneading like she’s making ice cream.
